Vendredi: More Shapes in Your Cup

Today, Friday the 13^th no less, more shapes you might find in your cup of tea leaves and their general meanings:

Cabbage ~ curiously, an indication of jealousy either by the petitioner or against them

Cage ~ a longing for a life other than what one has

Car ~ travel; if a journey is not indicated, this symbol may hint at acquisitiveness on the part of the petitioner

Castle ~ the petitioner is coming into a position of power; alternately, they are favored by a person in power

Chain ~ authority currently has sway over the petitioner; a possible loss in a court case.  If the chain has a broken link, the court case will go in the petitioner’s favor

Chair ~ rest after hard work

Church ~ the petitioner is on an amoral path and should look deeply at their behavior with an eye to correct it; petitioner’s actions are hurting others

Clock ~ delays and barriers cause frustration

Crown ~ the petitioner will succeed in their current venture; if this reading is not appropriate, the crown might indicate an unexpected gift or inheritance

Cup ~ thoughtfulness; a time of quiet self-evaluation

Cymbal ~ good news

Dagger, Knife or Sword ~ the petitioner needs to get hold of their temper and/or possible danger – a dagger pointed to the rim of the cup indicates danger to the petitioner; pointing to the bottom, danger to others

Door ~ an obstacle is on the horizon; the petitioner will need to use his wits to break through or get around it

Drum ~ gossip

Egg ~ good fortune is smiling on the petitioner

Engine (train) ~ like a furnace, the petitioner is full of energy that needs a creative outlet

Thus we’ll close for today.  Be safe out there or, if you’re like me and find nothing the least bit worrisome about any specific day of the year, Vendredi heureux ~
